Hillary was a walking talking National Security risk for four years

"State Department spokesman Mark Toner said the emails in question were "subsequently upgraded" to classified. He stressed that none of the emails was considered classified at the time."
However, the sheer number of emails that have been redacted stands as the latest example of how much sensitive material was contained in Clinton's email transactions. The FBI is conducting an investigation into whether classified information that passed through Clinton's so-called "homebrew" server was mishandled. Clinton, the Democratic presidential front-runner, has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.

The Corner...

Mrs. Clinton’s claim that she was unaware that many of her emails contained classified information is untenable – in fact, it is remarkable that she and her pom-pom squad (to say nothing of Obama administration officials) dare to make it with a straight face.

Clinton rationalizes that because the emails were not stamped classified, she could not have been expected to know they were classified. As I’ve been emphasizing since March, she is trying to exploit the public’s unfamiliarity with the distinction between classified documents and classified information – the former are obviously classified because they are marked as such; the latter, because of its nature, is well known to national security officials to be classified – regardless of whether it is marked as such or even written down at all.

Aside from the criminal inquiry (not that that does not matter), the point is not whether her communications were or were not technically marked classified, but that the Secretary of State was communicating sensitive and non-sensitive information on a server that was surely hacked by at least a half dozen of our enemies. This was extraordinarily stupid and shows that she should not be considered for the highest office in the land.

At a certain point in Nixon's descent a group of high ranking Republicans told him it was time to go. We know the Democrats won't do the same to Hillary. Just say'n (to quote that Brooklyn dude).

Exactly. Her problem is that there are quite a few of us with .gov & .mil experience with classified documents and classified information and we know she's a lying wench. I wonder if she ever used her STE phone (successor to the STU-III) and messaging device(s)? She had to have utilized a VPN account to communicate with sensitive .gov or .mil email accounts from a remote computer/server, just as I did for years, when not in my office in the federal building, or did she wrangle a by-pass for that precaution too?

Why is she not yet indicted, charged, tried, convicted and in jail?

What amuses me a lot about this Democratic contretemps is that with Hillary, Bernie, and soon, Biden...they have a main slate of OLD white folks, the lead one filthy rich...how endearing for the party that says it represents the working class and minorities. What? Can't find anyone qualified & under 70 or of a hue darker than a white bed sheet anywhere in the Dem party? Too funny.

The National Security implications of Watergate was IF it were known to the nation's enemies, namely Russia, it could be used for blackmail. But, because of the nature of the information, a politically unsavory break-in, at best, the subjects had a personal interest in keeping it under wraps. Not to mention the tapes where hack proof.

There is no such personally convenient situation in Hillary's case that would negate our enemies piking it up, reading her email.

She lived in the worlds most luxurious information palace and she took out the gates and the doors.

And by the way, she is asking to be rewarded with the top job.

And I've said it before and I'll say it again. Nothing will happen to her in any way shape or form and Lem, this is how these filthy scumbag leftists operate. For all of the criminality and wrong doing, they will get or try to get a raise and a promotion.
